Rise of Knowledge Technology

All the existing knowledge, from the time of Vedas to the latest developments in Information Technology, has a common pattern and it is coded. If we could develop a device or formula for decoding the existing pattern of knowledge by analyzing the symbols used for the representation of their meaning and modify these patterns, then we could attain wonders in understanding the existing knowledge and creating a massive amount of new knowledge or even wisdom within a very short span of time. It is possible to find out a network-like pattern or structure when we put together all the existing knowledge, either scientific or aesthetic or mystical or spiritual. The total knowledge stock acquired or accessed by an individual in his life span is so small and there is no justification for spending so much time, energy and resources to acquire such a small stock of knowledge and to brand oneself as scholar or specialist. Our education system and the learning models are totally inefficient and unsuitable to the modern society, for they originally evolved when the total stock of knowledge was very small. A major shift from information to knowledge has been taking place. That leads to the emergence of a true knowledge society on a global basis.
